IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 106,574, dated August 23,1870.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST GILLERT, of the city and county of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vapor-Burners; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact deseription of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, which are made a part of these specications.

The object of this improvement is the combination, with a vaponburner, of a heating apparatus for generating the vapor, which will make a steady, regular heat, perfectly protected from effects of air-currents, thereby insurin g perfect combustion.

That others may be enabled to understand the nature of my invention, I will proceed to describe itwith reference to the annexed drawings.

Figure 1 is an outside view of the burner complete. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of burner. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of burner.

Similar let-ters of reference indicate correspondin g parts in all the figures.

LetterA, Figs. 1, 2, 3, is theburner. Letter B, Figs. 1, 2, 3, is a heating-cylinder, closed at top andopen at bottom. Letter O, Figs. 2 and 3, are two flanges putting out from the burner A at an angle of about thirty-iive degrees, converging at the top, and dividing the space between the burnerA and the cylinderB 5 letter D, asmall chamber, and letter E a large chamber. Letter Gr, Figs. 2 and 3, is an arm' putting out from burner A to steady cylinder B in its place. Letter H is a packing, of -wiclc l or its equivalent, to regulate the flow of fluid. Letter I is a governor to regulate the size; letter J, Jthe illuminating-flame. Letter K, Figs. l and 2, is an inverted flange covering' an aperture for the admission of air for mixture with the vapor as it passes; letter L, the gas-chamber. Letter M, Figs. 2 and 3, is a small perforation in the burner A, for the escape of gas from gas-chamber L into the small chamber D, for the supply of a small blue heating flame, which passes downward in chamber D, around the lower extremity of the two flanges O, and upward in large chamber E, a draft being formed through N Figs. 1 and 2, the drafthole.

By this means the heating-ameis protected from the wind, the burner is entirely encircled by the heating-flame, and, having the further protection of the cylinder B, is not liable to become chilled, and the vapor condensed by cold drafts of air.

What I claim as my invention, and for which I desire to obtain Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with the burner A, of iianges O O.

2. The division of the cylinderlB into cl1ambers or fines D and E, for the purpose of forming a draft to the heating-flame, which is supplied with gas or vapor from the perforation M, substantially as set forth in drawings and specifications.

ERNEST GILLERT.
